Abstract:
|
Are you ready to rant?! Advisors have experienced increased stress due to budget constraints, expanded responsibilities, the growing impact of AI, student challenges, and other professional frustrations. This 60-minute interactive discussion provides advisors with a supportive space to openly work through common professional frustrations while reinforcing techniques to re-center themselves and manage stress. Strategies explored include fostering a camaraderie of support, reframing negative thoughts to strength-based solution focused ideas, utilizing practical skills such as meditation and deep breathing.
Throughout this interactive presentation advisors will also have the opportunity to 'rant' anonymously about their frustrations or challenges they are currently facing. Advisor rants can be about budget limitations, feeling unheard, increased responsibilities, or dissatisfaction with campus resources. Then explore how to apply the centering skills addressed to improve overall job satisfaction, mitigate burnout, and regain a sense of inner balance. This interactive session is a safe space where advisors can openly express themselves among their peers. By the end of this presentation participants will understand methods that promote advisor wellness, reduce burnout, and cultivate a positive mindset. |
